Using SQLDBA in VT220 screen mode with Oracle7

The Oracle7 SQLDBA, when used in VT220 screen mode, resets the host terminal to 
VT100 mode upon exit.  This feature (bug 68431) upsets VT300 users who rely on 
function keys F7 throught F20 because these are unusable
in VT100 mode.  The escape sequence needed to reset your terminal to
VT300 mode is <ESC>[62;0"p - on VAX/VMS this can be easily output to the 
terminal by a simple command file:
 
$ ESC[0,8] = 27
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "''ESC'[62;0""p"

I dare say someone out there can come up with a Unix equivalent.
